can anyone help me find this post?

[karlanee]

I'm looking for a thread I saw the other day about the people going overboard. Someone had posted a link that had stats on the overboard incidents on all the cruise ships over the past several years. Now I can't find it. Does someone know where it is? Please help!

 

Thanks

Interesting stats from People falling overboard

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Found this in an article about the guy who was lost on the Celebration last week.

 

 

While falling from a cruise ship is a rare occurrence, a quick review of the Cruise News archives reveals that at least 11 passengers and crew have fallen overboard from a cruise ship since February of 2000. According to the information in our files:

- Males are much more likely to go overboard than females (9 vs. 2)

- Carnival passengers (6 incidents) are more likely to go overboard than passengers from other cruise lines...especially passengers on the Fascination (2 incidents)

- The average age of a passenger who goes overboard is 33 years old

- You are most likely to fall overboard on the last night of your cruise

- For some reason, people from Virginia go overboard more than others (3 incidents)

- Falling overboard does not necessarily mean you will die (3 people have been rescued, one after 18 hours in the water)

- Most people who fall overboard are either drunk or doing silly things (climbing on the railing or between cabin balconies)

Thanks Dolphins.

 

That's not it. This was an link to a website. I thought it was in that same post - but I've searched all over the boards for over an hour and can't seem to find it.

Is this what you are talking about? http://www.cruisejunkie.com/events.html, found it after a quick search on "overboard"...

No that's not it either. I've seen that one before.

 

This one was similar - but was only about overboard - it had a chart with the cruise ship and what it was suspected of being and the date it happened etc.

 

I guess will give up for awhile.

I don't recall seeing anything like that on the Carnival board... you may want to do a search on the term "overboard" and not just on this forum, the entire boards and you will have 100's of threads you can look through :D
